IV. Sinanen Taxi Maintenance Shop, Tokyo, Japan Primary Contact: Mr. Jason Karpf, Capstone (818) 734-5495 A Capstone microturbine is installed for combined heat and power in a taxi maintenance shop. This shop operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Sinanen sells CNG, LP Gas, kerosene, and butane. They also provide maintenance services and car washes. In a 24-hour period, Sinanen fills the tanks of ~1,000 taxi cabs. Each night, between midnight and 8 am, the Simanen car wash cleans between 70 and 100 taxis. This site uses an LP Gas powered TCP-30 system known as a “MicroCHP” (microturbine derived combined heat and power) generator. The TCP-30 is produced by Takuma, a Japanese distributor and integrator of power systems and equipment. The TCP-30 combines Capstone’s 30 kW microturbine, fuel system and digital power controller with a Vacotin boiler to produce both heat and power. According to Capstone, the total fuel efficiency of the TCP-30 system exceeds 70 percent. The LP Gas storage tank is housed in a shed adjacent to the building. Water is heated to 80 ̊ C by the microturbine exhaust and is moved to a 5 m3 (1,300 gal) reserve tank. From there, the water is divided between the car wash and the fuel storage shed. The water keeps the temperature of fuel storage to above 35 ̊ C, thus allowing adequate and constant LP Gas vapour pressure for the microturbine. Hot water is thermostatically blended with city water to maintain a 60 ̊ C temperature water for the car wash stream. The electricity generated by the microturbine is three-phase 220V AC. This electricity is used to cover internal electrical needs to power water and fuel pumps. Excess power is sold to the local electrical grid.
